Time Out

We interrupt this blog for a dose of real life.

While in the midst of a minor, but very real, personal tragedy, I was reminded why I married my husband. He is genuinely a good guy, who, despite his flaws, loves me very much. Given everything I learned about him this summer, I was not expecting him to be very supportive. But he's gone above and beyond my expectations. Every day he does some little kindness that reminds me how wonderful he can be. Mostly, he keeps me distracted, so I don't obsess about stuff.

So I'm feeling kindly toward him right now.

This doesn't mean I've forgotten anything he did, or that I'll stop trying to sort everything out in this blog. But I feel like I need to give him credit when he earns it. I'm still not sure if it'll be enough to tip the balance in his favor in the end, but it's definitely what I need at this moment.

For now, that's enough.
